Quotes for idea
Character names:
James
Matt
Joe
I wanted the comedy in this idea to be slightly mature; not rude or adult but not too childish either. Witty remarks are sought after as well.
Having conversations with friends is an almost guaranteed way to get decent one liners and insults. Here are a couple that stood out for me when chatting to some of my mates:
"Dibs ____ shares a bed"
"Dibs ____ has to sit outside the plane"
"I don't care where I sleep"
"50 miles from us!"
"Doubt my luck's that good mate!"
"I'm either blind or stupid"
"Try both"
One I came up with:
"[about a hotel] How about the bell?"
"I know what sort of bell you'd be!"
I mentioned a possible prank war between Matt and James, we see two aspects of that in the first scene:
James is removing screws from Matt's chair whilst he's gone.
Joe (the boss friend) enters
"Where's Matt?"
"Gone to the toilet"
"And what are you doing?"
"I...(stands up) am rigging said Matt's chair"
More examples of their prank war are given in a later conversation during the planning of the holiday:
[James has just been insulted by the other 2]
James: "Great, gang up on me"
Joe: "You deserve it"
James: "What've I done lately?"
Matt: "Ketchup in the coffee; ketchup in the soup"
James: "[Shrugs] I like ketchup, but you give as good as you get!"
Matt: "Such as?"
James: "Stapling my tie to the desk"
Joe: "What's wrong with that?"
James: "I was still wearing it!"
Matt smiles to himself in a satisfied way
